Chapter 36, Problem 5Q

Figure 36-32 shows four choices for the rectangular opening of a source of either sound waves or light waves. The sides have lengths of either L or 2L, with L being 3.0 times the wavelength of the waves. Rank the openings according to the extent of (a) left–right spreading and (b) up–down spreading of the waves due to diffraction, greatest first.

The intensity of light I through a lake at a depth of x meters is given by the following formula. dI/dx = (-2.31)I a.) At what depth is the intensity of the light half that of the intensity at the surface, I00? b.) At 5 meters deep, what is the intensity of the light as a fraction of I0? c.) How many meters deep will the intensity of light be 1 percent of the intensity of the light at the surface? Remember that the depth at the surface is x = 0.

An incident wave along (1/2) i - (√3/2)j falls on a refractive surface at z = 0. If the refractive index is μ= √3 , find the propagation vectors for the reflected and the refracted rays.

Plane-polarized light is incident on a single polarizing disk, with the direction of E0 parallel to the direction of the transmission axis. Through what angle should the disk be rotated so that the intensity in the transmitted beam is reduced by a factor of (a) 2.00, (b) 4.00, and (c) 6.00?
